Trivia: Answer & Ask

[HBergeron]

Any genre of trivia, no matter how specialized. Answer the question above, and pose one for the next.

It's totally cool to Google.

This may be the stillborn thread killer, probably kissing this thread goodbye with the first question, but what the hell... it's one of my favorites:

Pop/Rock music is predominantly in 4/4 time, with a precious few being in 3/4 (Ex: Sweet Baby James).


What is the biggest hit song (according to the Billboard charts) by a major classic rock band, written in an odd time (in this case: 7/4 - except for the guitar solo, where it changes to 4/4)?

Sting - Seven Days?

Sting - Seven Days?

Good guess, but it's in 5/4, and the true answer is an absolute monster hit.

Hint: The song is from 1973 and is still played quite often on classic rock stations.
"It's a hit..."

Ooohhh. I used to run a chat room where where we played trivia and the others banned me because I got too many right. Need to put on my thinking cap here.

I'm thinking Pink Floyd's "Money"? But not an easy thing to search for.

Here's a question. How long did pink Floyd's "Dark side on the moon" ride Billboards top 100 albums?

 

[Jada59]

3 years?

No worries Sweetie, let's hope we're right

 

[Deacon_Voss]

Actually I screwed up. It was the top 200, not 100, LOL, oops.

 

[Jada59]

Either way, we still rock!

You're both right.

861 weeks - I used to read those charts religiously, and last number I remembered was over 450 weeks.

What movie did both Ron Howard and Johnny Cash appear in as major characters? (they did change the title several times - any will do)

 

[Jada59]

Five Minutes To Live?

Yeah, pretty crazy that Pink Floyd. I have that album, the cassette, and the eight track somewhere in the attic.

I'll have to think of a question though.

 

[HBergeron]

Haha - you got it! I saw it at the drive-in as 'Door To Door Maniac'.

Sweet Jada - it's your turn to ask a question...

Oh. Lemme think.

What is the longest production car ever?

 

[HBergeron]

Oh. Lemme think.

What is the longest production car ever?

If by 'longest' you mean length - the 1966 Toronado
If by number of years in production - The Chevy Suburban (80 years)

What Chocolate company has a square named after it in a major California city?

(goodnight for now)
